Dummy endogenous variables are commonly encountered in program evaluations using observational data. Motivated by the increasing availability of rich micro data, we develop a two-stage approach to estimate the dummy endogenous treatment effect using high-dimensional instrumental variables (IV)....

Covariates selection is essential when faced with many variables in modern causal inference in a data-rich environment. Particularly, the efficiency of the average causal effect (ACE) can be improved by including covariates only related to the outcome and reduced by including covariates related...
